For the past year the Chicago Underground has been turning the heads
of critics and fans across the country with their unique sound that
balances free jazz with electronica and tuneful post-bop
compositions. The group consists of four of the busiest members of
Chicago's thriving creative music scene who have performed and
recorded with AACM stalwarts Fred Anderson and Ernest Dawkins, as
well as prominent avant ensembles Tortoise and Isotope 217. Featuring
Rob Mazurek,cornet; Chad Taylor, drums; Noel Kupersmith, bass; and
Jeff Parker, guitar. Recorded and mixed by Bundy K. Brown. "From time
to time the basic sound of this hot and earnest young bohemian jazz
group has all the newness of the Art Ensemble of Chicago 30 years
ago." - Ben Ratliff, New York Times

"Mazurek shimmers warmly with the sounds of the early postbop era,
and everybody else in the group is either in Morocco or at the video
arcade, and it works." - Time Out New York
